I washed my baby's face first, then hair, then dried him up. Then I'd lay him down and wash him, leaving his private area for last. That way I could wash his feet, then put on socks right away. Then wash his arms and torso, then put on a onesie. Then wash his bum and stuff, put on a diaper. The only parts of his body exposed are what I am washing at that moment. they still get cold, but not so much. I always used a fuzzy blanket under him, so I could wrap up his legs, when I was washing his tummy and wrap up his arms and tummy, when I was washing his legs etc. He's 9 weeks now, so he gets his daily bath in a little tub, and just loves it! But for the first little while, all he got was a sponge bath.

My daughter was doing the same thing when I gave her a bath. Her hands and feet would get really cold and her mouth would shiver. I have a little space heater, and now I put in the bathroom for a few mintues before I give her a her bath. It makes the bathroom all toasty warm and she doesn't get cold anymore.

Thats a great idea! When I bath my toddler, I run her water and let the steam warm up the bathroom. (she likes it almost hot!). While she is getting clean, I give my baby a bath at the same time, in his own little tub. I can kill 2 birds with one stone that way!

I used to have a space heater and let the room heat up before I gave my son a bath. Once I put him in, I put the heater a bit closer to us. It worked, remember to turn it off tho haha.

I used a electric space heater to warm the room up before I gave my son his bath. It really helped because he too would turn purple.

They make sponges that are in the shape of like a little bear or bunny and are a little bigger than your baby. We would get that wet with warm water and lay her on it. Then wash her body, dry her and dress her then wash her hair. It worked really well to not let her get too cold.

I stick my sons towel in the dryer for awhile then get it out when he is done his bath. He loves his warm towel and stops crying as soon as we put him in it
